Java2D tutorials?

[appel]

Hey,

I'm very new to Java2D, but I've done some game experimenting with C++ and SDL library. I'm a ok java programmer but I've never done any game programming in Java.

Any useful reading material out there? Tutorials on how to make a simple 2D game with Java2D (using Java-WebStart) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I guess you could start with Java2D tutorial:
  http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/

Then, there are some nice articles on writing games with Java2D on
javagamesfactory.org (but  the site seems to be currently down).

Then there's http://www.planetalia.com/cursos/index.jsp

And, there's this article (in two parts)
  http://java.sys-con.com/read/46663.htm?CFID=1188253&CFTOKEN=515CD7B9-A7B3-7E22-0060DC35D91F3145

Hope it helps..

Thanks,
